One would hope that the political and economic sanctions that they incurred last time would be sufficient to stay their hand.

I was working back in the UK when it last happened. It was worrying for me so far away and I telephoned my wife to make sure she was OK.
Her reply was "Sabai,sabai. Schools and some shops in Surin having holiday and everyone happy.

I hope the same applies next time for us all in Isaan party13

Looking back at these older threads, one has to wonder about the commonly accepted talk and actions of coups in Thailand's history - as there has been many. Successful and attempted of every sort - military, civil, political, and judicial. Think about Thailand's contemporary history....who really benefits? Does society change as a result? Of course it doesn't? But, be there a popular uprising or revolt amongst the peasantry, that threatens the ruling establishment - everyone seems to go ape shit.

That's the idea, Dave.
